Communication Method and Apparatus

1. A communication method, implemented by a first apparatus, on a sensor side, comprising a hardware processor, the method comprising: receiving indication information from a second apparatus, wherein the indication information comprises information for configuring first and second sending periods for sending data of different types to the second apparatus or information acknowledging receipt of the configuration information sent to the second apparatus from the first apparatus, and wherein the information for configuring first and second sending periods includes frequencies of the first and second sending periods; obtaining first data and second data of different types, wherein the types of data are based on different frequencies of collection periods by sources of the first and second data; sending the first data to the second apparatus during the first sending period whose period is according to the information for configuring the first sending period; and sending the second data to the second apparatus during the second sending period whose period is according to the information for configuring the second sending period, wherein the frequency of the first sending period is determined based on a first collection period of the first data, wherein the frequency of the second sending period is determined based on a second collection period of the second data, wherein the frequency of each of the first and second collection periods is based on a period of time for collecting the first or second data by a sensor or a period of time for changing the data, and wherein frequencies of the first sending period and the second sending period are different.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein a frequency of the second sending period is N times a frequency of the first sending period, and N is a natural number greater than 1.

3. The method according to claim 1, further comprising suspending sending the second data to the second apparatus in the second period based on a driving scenario.

4. The method according to claim 1, further comprising sending third data to the second apparatus based on a third sending period.

5. The method according to claim 4, wherein a frequency of the third sending period is N times the frequency of the first sending period, and N is a natural number greater than 1.

6. A communication method, applied to a second apparatus for vehicle-control comprising a hardware processor, the method comprising: sending indication information to a first apparatus, wherein the indication information comprises information for configuring first and second sending periods for receiving data of different types from the first apparatus or receiving information acknowledging receipt of the configuration information sent from the first apparatus, and wherein the information for configuring first and second sending periods includes frequencies of the first and second sending periods; receiving first data from the first apparatus during the first sending period whose period is according to the information for configuring the first sending period; and receiving second data from the first apparatus during the second sending period whose period is according to the information for configuring the second sending period, wherein the types of the first and second data are based on different frequencies of collection periods by sources of the first and second data, wherein the frequency of the first sending period is determined based on a first collection period of the first data, wherein the frequency of the second sending period is determined based on a second collection period of the second data, wherein the frequency of each of the first and second collection periods is based on a period of time for collecting the first or second data by a sensor or a period of time for changing the data, and wherein frequencies of the first sending period and the second sending period are different.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein a frequency of the second sending period is N times a frequency of the first sending period, and N is a natural number greater than 1.

8. The method according to claim 6, further comprising receiving third data from the first apparatus, wherein a sending period of the third data is a third sending period.

9. The method according to claim 8, wherein a frequency of the third sending period is N times the frequency of the first sending period, and N is a natural number greater than 1.

10. A first apparatus comprising: one or more processors, and a non-transitory storage medium in communication with the one or more processors, wherein the non-transitory storage medium is configured to store program instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to perform: receiving indication information from a second apparatus, wherein the indication information comprises information for configuring first and second sending periods for sending data of different types to the second apparatus or information acknowledging receipt of the configuration information sent to the second apparatus from the first apparatus, and wherein the information for configuring first and second sending periods includes frequencies of the first and second sending periods; obtaining first data and second data of different types, wherein the types of data are based on different frequencies of collection periods by sources of the first and second data; sending the first data to the second apparatus during the first sending period whose period is according to the information for configuring the first sending period; and sending the second data to the second apparatus during the second sending period whose period is according to the information for configuring the second sending period, wherein the frequency of the first sending period is determined based on a first collection period of the first data, wherein the frequency of the second sending period is determined based on a second collection period of the second data, wherein the frequency of each of the first and second collection periods is based on a period of time for collecting the first or second data by a sensor or a period of time for changing the data, and wherein frequencies of the first sending period and the second sending period are different.
